“Football Isn’t for You”- Amid Kylian Mbappe and PSG Transfer Drama, Show of Support From President of France Gets Questioned by Soccer Fans

The world of soccer is once again in turmoil, as one of its star players Kylian Mbappe is caught in the crosshairs of a fierce transfer battle. The 24-year-old French striker has been at the center of a high-profile transfer fiasco, with rumors swirling around his possible exit from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

After Lionel Messi decided to leave the Parisians, it looks like Mbappe is on his way to doing the same. And amid all this drama, French President Emmanuel Macron has entered the fray with a show of support for the PSG stalwart, generating a lot of questions from fans.

The president enters the Kylian Mbappe transfer saga

The French sensation has been a key player for the club and throughout his run has attracted interest from top European clubs. Kylian Mbappe recently sent a letter to PSG while refusing to sign any contract extension. His contract ends in June 2024 and he will be a free agent after that.

This has led to rumors of him possibly joining Real Madrid or a Premier League side. However, these got recently slammed when Mbappe stated that he will play the next season with the Parisians which would mean PSG will have to say lose him for free in 2024. Amid this drama, the president of France has surprisingly entered the frame.

Enter Emmanuel Macron, who recently expressed his desire for Mbappe to remain in France. “I don’t know what is happening with Kylian, but I will push for him to stay,” said the President. It is worth noting that Mbappe is not only a key player for PSG but also for the French national team, where he has featured prominently since his debut in 2017. This could be why Macron is so intent on keeping Mbappe in France. However, this move from Macron has raised many eyebrows among soccer fans.

Soccer fans left questioning this statement

While Macron’s words may seem harmless, the reaction from soccer fans has been mostly against him. The question that many fans are asking is – why is the president of the nation interfering in transfer talks of a soccer player?

Here are some of the reactions from the fans:

The comments from the French President have added a new dimension to the drama. However, despite Macron’s support, the decision to stay or leave ultimately lies with Mbappe. It will be interesting to see how this drama unfolds and will the president play any role in it.
